Statewide Forest Action Plan Part 1:Statewide Forest Assessment 2010

The Statewide Forest Assessment 2010, the first part of the Statewide Forest Action Plan, presents a comprehensive analysis of the conditions, trends, threats and opportunities impacting Wisconsin's forests. The Assessment, which fills in the blueprint laid out by Wisconsin's Forest Sustainability Framework, is a bellwether of the state's forest sustainability. It does not set desired conditions; rather, it provides the knowledge to set goals and strategies for managing our forests. Read the formal introduction [PDF] to the Statewide Forest Assessment.

How to use the Statewide Forest Assessment

The Assessment consists of sets of data and conclusions drawn from those data. Together, these provide a database of succinct, comprehensive and scientifically sound figures on the current state and sustainability of Wisconsin's forests. The data are organized into seven criteria described in the Forest Sustainability Framework.
